Summer Makeup Roundup

Happy Thursday ladies and gents.  I decided that since we are in our last weeks of summer (tear) that I would do a ‘summer makeup roundup’ of my top products that I have used throughout the summer. These are products that I’ve either used on a daily basis or constantly reach for when doing a night out look. Enjoy 🙂

1. My all time favourite gloss (and i’m not a gloss person), Creme Brulee by NYX

2. I adore the consistency of the Match Perfection by Rimmel. It’s the perfect formula for concealer in my opinion and works best with my skin combination.

When these problems are experienced, it is better to take steps to expel harmful toxins? It is possible to do this with the help of proper treatments from the http://deeprootsmag.org/page/365/?feedsort=rand prices levitra medicinal products.

The perfect summer blush that does wonders for my skin tone. I have not stopped reaching for Milani’s baked blush 05 Luminoso.

4. I’ve raved about the Fit Me foundation by Maybelline before on my monthly favourites, so there is no surprise that it topped my summer roundup list.

5. I cannot get enough of MAC’s Mineralize Skinfinish products. I am obessed with their cheeky bronze powder, it’s a soft coral with a golden shimmer finish. Perfect to enhance your summer bronze.

6. Inexpensive and a great selection. I’ve been driven to constantly pick up and use Essence’s number 07, natural beauty. I find that this colour will also be a favourite for the fall/winter.

7. Of course, I had to leave the best for last. I don’t normally use a brow pencil, however, I’ve been loving the one from Anastasia Beverly Hill. Everything from the formula to how to glides and leaves a powder finish, as opposed to a gel finish (not a fan).

Pretty in Pink

As much as I rave and glamourize the beauty and significance of shades, it doesn’t mean my world is all black and white. I truly adore pink in all shades, it’s one of my favourite colours (surprised? I know). It could simply be due to the fact that pink suits my skin tone or for the mere reason that it’s an upbeat colour.

As we get older into our adult years however, us women (and maybe men too) start developing odd fears. One of them is how we can look too girly or reflect a lack of maturity due to what we wear or how we do our hair and makeup. Pink being one of the unfortunate victims.  Last time I checked, colours never had expiry dates on them ladies, wear away!

I put together some outfits which dominate in the wonderful hue of pink. I hope you enjoy :).

pinkoutfit-one If I had to choose (please don’t make me!) navy blue and bold pink would have to be one of my favourite colour combos. They not only compliment each other but they also work well in letting the other look bold and powerful. Tapered ankle trousers with a bold pink print and matching top really look solid when paired with nice white and gold accessories. Fierce and chic.

pink_outfit_2Skorts are all the rave now (I knew my childhood fav would make a comeback). This soft rose pink skort from topshop is stunning in terms of execution, texture and colour. Go daring with a cut out top and mix with a bright colourful statement necklace and neutral shoes.

Jumpsuits can be tricky to pull off but with this gorgeous magenta jumpsuit from boohoo, you’ll look effortlessly fabulous.. I paired it with soft pinks and nudes in order to keep the focus on the one piece. Add a kick (pun intended) of personality with open toe heels. Dressing it for the evening? Choose a bold statement necklace to complete the look.

So ladies, what are your feelings towards one of my favourite colours? Happy Thursday!

How to: 5 minute make-up

howto_makeup_5minutes
I’ve convinced myself for years that I am not a morning person, but I am up by 7am from Monday- Friday. This of course is solely due to the fact that I have no choice since my job requires me to be there at the prompt hour of 8:30am. Throughout the past 2 years, I have found effective shortcuts to help make my mornings more smooth. Less time thinking and more time doing as I say. I’ve nailed my make-up and hair regime to no more than 20 minutes just to give my dear self more time to sit in city traffic.

Below is a vague pictorial on how you can achieve a simple, fresh spring make-up look in just 5 minutes. This includes a full face of makeup that will have you office ready in no time. This is strictly just for sharing the products I use, why I use them and the order in which I apply them. No steps on how to apply all that fun stuff- it’s pretty basic. Enjoy 🙂

The first thing I do (not part of my 5 minutes)is wash my face in the morning. Very important to      remove ALL the dirt from the night before- yuck. Once I pat my face dry, I apply a moisturizer and let is set for about 5 minutes.

Because Toronto had a never ending winter, my skin slowly went from combination to dry. I found myself always needing to rehydrate my face and this Vichy Aqualia Thermal cream is exactly what my face has been longing for. It provides up to 48 hours of hydration using water. There is no overwhelming scent , it’s paraben-free and non-comedogenic. It’s also transferable from day to night.

I use two types of foundation (sorry for the blob of L’oreal true match- I’m reaching the end and had to force some product out-hehe). I use half a pump worth of L’oreal true match in W2 and half a pump of Covergirl + Olay 2 in one foundation in buff beige. I mix and apply with a foundation brush all over.

Applied evenly.

Now for a bit of colour I apply a light layer of Hoola bronzer all over my face moving down my neck just to keep it all one colour-ya know? I use hoola because it’s a matte bronzer which is perfect for everyday use, little product is required in order to achieve a finished look and the longevity is great!

I then apply on my cheeks a light layer of Estee Lauder’s bronze goddess exotic bronzing. I love the hue of pink, the natural glow finish and the pigment. Great for all over or as an acting blush.

I applied these on my fingers just for showing purposes. This step is effortless and involves no      intense application technique. I take two matte brown shadows with a blending brush and sweep and blend across my eyelid. The chocolate and light brown result in a beautiful natural nude shade which gives your eyes that pop they need for the morning.

Add a tiny bit of eyeliner on your waterline. I use l’oreal smoldering liner which is amazing. It glides right on, has a great bold finish, and is easy to remove.

PIC_0937
This step is optional but I find that ever since I started using mascara, I look more awake in the morning hah. I use Rimmel lash accelerator Mascara (new packaging in link).

I decided to embrace the warm weather with a nice bright pink lipstick. I use two in combination. First I apply Wet N Wild think pink and apply a top coat with NYX, Narcissus.

PIC_0962
Sometimes I skip this step, but for the purpose of this post, I went ahead and lightly filled in my eye brows with an ELF brightening eye liner in the colour coffee. As you can see, my eyebrow hair is stubborn. I do not do a full eyebrow application unless I am going out. Filling them in lightly takes a matter of seconds and does the trick.

It may seem like a lot, however each step is simple, requires little technique and is fast. Skipping steps such as contouring, highlighting, full brow filling and full eye shadow application helps cut the time by more than half.

If you have five minutes in the morning, take out your favourite products as I do and get at it. What is your makeup routine in the morning? Do you focus more on face and skip eyes and lips or vice versa?

Sweaters and Skirts – the perfect match

I guess we have the modesty of the 50’s to thank for such a “uniformed” trend that has made its way into our wardrobes once again. The co-existence of sweaters and skirts in one solid ensemble may seem frightening at first but with the wide array of skirt and sweater styles, this task becomes effortless and almost enjoyable.

What I love about the sweater and skirt trend is that anyone can sport the look to their discretion. Short scuba skirts or long draped sheer ones? Varsity sweaters or graphic designs? You are in control and that is where the glory lies.

Below are some outfit choices we put together,  enjoy!

Focus on the simplicity of pairing off whites, creams and nudes. Choose light materials for full length skirts such as chiffon or cotton which will help with keeping cool on warmer days. Also pair your outfit with jewellery that have hints of rose gold to help bring the look together.

Spring Purse Trends 2014

Even if you don’t follow trends, the great thing about it is for every “A” trend there is an adverse side to it. So though you may not be into one particular craze, there is something out there
for everyone. Spring Purse Trends 2014 of course sparks the attention of all ladies (and recently some gents) due to the fact it’s one of the most practical accessory that we use on a daily basis.

Over sized Clutches

I suppose they got the hint that though the mini clutch worked for some, it hardly worked for others. Easier to transport our touch up items and an overall statement piece, spring 2014 focuses on the cliché “bigger is better”.

Fold over fabric clutches

In addition to the over sized clutches, you’ll notice many are less structured and have a hippie and slouchy feel to them. Easier to carry around and able to fold over the fabric if you can’t fill your clutch to the maximum.

Mini purses

Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2014<br /><br />
Enter the adverse to over sized clutches, as we said, there are some women who benefit from the mini clutches and that is where this trend comes into play. The mini purse is focusing on adding a “little something” to that evening look.

A great way to tone down prints, add sophistication and mix and match with bold spring attire. Lots of nudes, pastels (also a great focus on blush) and of course the classic white.

Fringe Frenzy

Milly Spring 2014
As in the spring’s trend attire, Fringe has also carried over to purses. Fringe detailing from
its minimal state to its maximum makes a statement on all detailing from body to add-ons for purses this season.

Art on the go
Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2014


Prepare to see lots of printed detailing and “art portrait like” handbags this year. This trend literally takes apparel patterns onto the handbags or full out paintings. Think artsy and avant garde.

For this spring’s purse trends, think over the top with size, practical, functional and toned down in terms of colours. Have fun, it’s  great season to step outside your comfort zone.

Enjoy 🙂
